Bali suspect attacks Westâs leaders
EFL/FU:
A key suspect in the Bali bomb attacks told an Indonesian court on Thursday that he was only a "small fry terrorist". Mukhlas, also known as Ali Gufron, said there were many "big fish" still at large, such as US President George Bush, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and British Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Taking his lead from the Malaysian VPâs speech yesterday.
That was the Indonesian VP... | Mukhlas used his defence plea to launch an attack on Western leaders, saying: "If these terrorists are allowed to continue having their way, they will drop their nuclear bombs... in the near future."
Only if we get hit first.
During Thursdayâs court session, Mukhlas accused Western powers of causing damage in Afghanistan and Iraq, and said they were also prepared to target Syria and Jordan in their continuing "war on terrorism".
Other than Jordan, who has been helping us, yes.
Mukhlas has been charged with plotting, organising and carrying out terror crimes in relation to the Bali attacks.
Heâll be counting muzzle blasts soon.
Unless he gets a vice-presidential pardon... |
